So like Morgan le Fay from the King Arthur stories ?  Looks small , need more power in midfield

Cherki looks super slow and lethargic

Every time we are supposedly after some talent that was easily acquirable by just looking at any FM wonderkids list three years ago for 1/5 price I wonder whether we actually do have a scouting department in place. This kind of players very rarely actually work out for top teams, hope it's just twitter noise.

Liverpool are notoriously slow and indecisive in the market much to their supporters’ anger and rage. But they’re in the verge of buying 3 midfielders in the time it’s taking us to negotiate with Brighton.

Same. No brainer at that point. At 40 I probably would as well tbh.

Replacement for Caicedo?

Expand  

not at all

Kudus is an AMF/SS who can play winger too

SMS could indeed by a nice option. But of experience and different kind of player to our other midfielders. Could play together with Enzo or serve as his backup . Surely a better option for us overall than veiga. 

Expand  

not really, not at SMS's age (he turns 30 in the middle of next season after this one)

I would go Viega between the 2 (I do rate SMS to a point though)

PSG are going to assfuck us again though (this time with Viega) it looks like

they have scuppered many out our attempts

Ugarte

Viega

Nuno Mendes  

Achraf Hakimi 

Leandro Paredes  (we dodged a bit of a bullet there, I would say)

Hugo Ekitiké

Apparently Gladbach only want €30m for Manu Kone. With reports Klopp wants him to finish his midfield rebuild. Where are these Scot’s that unearth these gems?

We should be in the mix for those fees.

Expand  

If we miss out on Viega (looks likely atm) then Manu is deffo an option

Tbh he is too big for them.

Expand  

no he isn't

the only reason anyone talks about him is because he is a yank

I never wanted him, I warned he was just a marketing ploy back when it happened

he is so overrated

I’m not really sure a big injury is that much of a worry for someone in his position at only 19 years old. If he was an explosive winger or wingback that’s one thing, but as a playmaking #10 type I’m not sure it’s that big of a deal. He was never a player who relied on pace or explosiveness from what I’ve watched. 

As long as he’s got two midfielders with legs behind him like Caicedo + Enzo I think we’d be good.

It only makes sense if he has fully recovered and we are planning on moving RJ to midfield in the mid term. he basically costs us nothing and already knows the club and the PL inside out. 

Expand  

in April 2022 when he suffered a serious knee injury which saw him sidelined for 13 months, ruling him out for most of the season just finished which ended in relegation for Southampton

[Vesper 29,448]

the Daily Heil says we are looking at

Matheus França, 19yo AMF

for around £21.5m

Real are looking too

SMS is not a pace reliant  player and he would not cost a bomb, so his age would not be too much of a problem. With all the kids, some experience should not hurt. It is worrying tho that despite all the hype no big club has ever taken a punt at him.

Kone is good but completely different player. Viega scores goals, can be used as playmaker without being brilliant at it. Maybe similar to Mount.  Kone is also quite technical  but not much of a goalscorer more a connector like a dembele was for spurs.
